Wicklow Mountains Hiking
Najbolje vreme za posetu
Late spring to early autumn (May through September) offers the driest trails, with May being prime for pink-purple heather blooming across the slopes. Early mornings give the clearest visibility before the afternoon mist rolls in over the ridges.
Saveti za budžet
The park itself is completely free to enter, with parking at most trailheads costing around 4-5 euros (or 8 euros at Glendalough's upper lot). Pack your own lunch and water since the few cafés near trailheads charge tourist prices, and check the park website for free guided walks during summer weekends.
Preporučeno za
Day hikers, Photography enthusiasts, Nature lovers, Solo travelers

O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Otprilike 500 kvadratnih kilometara tresetišta, vresišta i ledničkih dolina čini ovaj ogromni nacionalni park, najveći te vrste u zemlji. Svake godine ga poseti preko 1,9 miliona ljudi, pri čemu dolina Glendalou sama privlači većinu posetilaca svojim manastirskim ruševinama iz 6. veka.
Istaknuto: Na 925 metara, Lugnakila se uzdiže kao najviši vrh, ali većina planinara nikada ne vidi njen vrh jer se oblaci tako brzo navuku da se pogled menja svakih dvadeset minuta. Viklou vej se proteže 131 kilometar duž starih stočarskih puteva i putanja za mise, gde možete pratiti istu stazu kojom su hodočasnici vekovima nosili tugu i zahvalnost.
Insajderski saveti
- Bring three layers even in summer, the wind blows hard at elevation and temperatures drop several degrees on the ridges.
- The Spinc loop at Glendalough gives the most dramatic views for the effort, but start before 10am to dodge the tour bus crowds.
- Skip the crowded Green Road at Glendalough on weekends and head to the quieter Poulanass Waterfall trail for equally stunning scenery.
- Download an offline map before you go, phone signal vanishes in the deeper valleys and the bog paths can look identical when fog rolls in.
